FAQs for Immigration Attorneys

Q: What Disqualifies You From Getting a Green Card?

A: There are a wide variety of reasons why a standard green card petition might be denied. These include:

• Criminal convictions
• Communicable diseases
• Links to problematic organizations, groups, or movements (e.g., in a national security context)
• Lack of resources (having a likelihood of becoming a public charge in need of welfare services)
• Incomplete or inaccurate application materials
• Prior immigration violations or deportations

Note that while there are many factors that can make it difficult to obtain legal permanent residence status, getting your green card is not the only option for staying in the U.S. long term. For example, people from certain countries may be eligible for asylum status.

Q: Can I Stay On a Green Card Forever?

A: While a green card does indeed grant “legal permanent resident” status, the “permanent” aspect can be somewhat misleading, as your green card is not valid indefinitely without action on your part. A standard green card will need to be renewed every 10 years, which may involve your case being subjected to a review process.

So long as the renewal is properly processed, the green card holder’s permanent resident status will typically not be revoked unless they have:

• Committed certain serious crimes
• Failed to notify immigration authorities of crucial information like address changes
• Lived outside the U.S. for extended periods without following proper procedures

Q: What Is the 7-Year Rule for Immigration?

A: Immigration laws and the ways they are enforced are always evolving, and rules that applied only a few years ago may no longer have any relevance. The “7-Year Rule” may either refer to an outdated immigration policy or to a policy proposal by Senator Alex Padilla in 2023, under which immigrants would qualify for legal permanent resident status if they have lived in the United States for at least 7 years before filing their application for a green card.

Q: What Are the 5 Requirements to Become a U.S. Citizen?

A: There are many models of thought that endeavor to simplify the immigration process into easily understood pieces. An easy, 5-point list of citizenship requirements might look something like this:

1. Age – You must be at least 18 years old.
2. Legality – You should have already had a green card (legal permanent resident status) for at least 3 years, preferably at least 5.
3. Residency – You must have already lived in the U.S. for a significant period of time.
4. Character – Serious crimes will disqualify you from citizenship.
5. Knowledge – To pass a citizenship exam, you must have a basic understanding of U.S. civics and be able to express yourself well enough to demonstrate this understanding.
